David S. Ferriero, the director of research libraries at the New York Public Library, was nominated to become the United States archivist Tuesday, according to a White House spokesman.
As the country’s top archivist, he would oversee the activities of the National Archives and Records Administration including the release of government documents, including presidential papers.
I'm disappointed it wasn't one of our very own, in-house HHW librarians...

Good news from DR MATTH yesterday.
I enjoyed the cat concerto.
I am nervous about the HOT weather the DRs on the west coast are having....it may get to Indiana just in time for MAN OF LA MANCHA.
Tonight is a run thru. We finished blocking last night. It's okay.....and I am hoping it only gets better. We shall see. Tomorrow we set the lights and program the cues. The pit is working away and will have a session of its own on Saturday. So we shall see.

Good morning, all!
Today at 1:45 I see a new doctor, and I hope this will be beneficial. I wasn't asleep until sometime after 1:30 am, because nothing I am currently taking would kill the pain enough for me to pass out. Around 4:30, I got up and took some more Vicodin and muscle relaxer and slept fitfully until 8:40 or so. I am bathed, shaved, and ready to see the new guy.
I had an inquiry from Brent Barrett about working on the holiday recording and I said yes; I'm not turning down jobs I can accomplish here since I can get around with my crutches and a car service, but I am considering turning down all out of town jobs until I get a clear picture and analysis of my health situation. I'm not even sure if I will be going down to DC on August 13 for the Life Begins At 8:40 reading at the LoC. Hopefully, I will be there.
That leads to your inquiries, DR Michael Shayne, about the revue:
1) Did Ira Gershwin and EY Harburg actually co-wrote the lyrics to together or the wrote them solo?
I have no idea; there are clues in the lyrics as to who may have written what, but I know nothing about the work process with them.
2) Are you including the three songs that cut from the show?
I only know of two cut songs: "I Knew Him When," which is being added to the score, and "I'm A Collector of Moonbeams," which has no siurviving music.
The LoC has as well in its "Life Begins . . ." materials a full score for "It Was Never Like This," but I can find no confirmation it was written for "Life Begins . . .".
& one purely academic: The show was originally going to be The Ziegfeld Follies of 1935----what happened?
I neither know nor care, I suspect the success of a self-help book entitled "Life Begins At 4-" was a large part of the reason.
DR Laura, thanks for the Dakotcelt updates. What's going on with DR Danise?

Mitzi morning greetings! It's a dreary day here in SW Ohio, and, oh, the weather is rainy, too.

DID STEPHEN SONDHEIM LET YOU KNOW WHAT HE THOUGHT OF WRITER'S BLOCK?
Although Steve has gotten each and every one of my books, and he's thanked me for them, his mantra is that he doesn't read fiction. So, if he's read it, I haven't heard about it.
-
I'm up and it is very gray and overcast out - wonder if that will last or if it will be another scorcher today. I've already called all the workers next door Mitzi, and I mean in the nicest possible way, as you can imagine.
-
Good morning!
A gray day with showers and storms expected all day and highs in the mid-80s. Sounds very typical for this time of the summer.
-
Back from the doctor where the news was encouraging: time, some very different exercise strategies, new drugs, and patience. I have all of these but the last, but I must find some. When you've had near-perfect health for almost 60 years, any little problem seems gigantic.
At any rate, thanks for all the good wishes. Glad this part of the problem (diagnosis and treatment) is over. Now, let's see where it gets me.

Today I'll be working on one of the Fox Blu-rays that came in late yesterday: DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION.
Doesn't sound much like CITIZEN KANE, but maybe I'll be surprised. :)
-
Continued good news, DR MATTH.
I purchased DR CP's lamented DRAGONHEART on VHS at the Goodwill Monday for ninety nine cents. And they put the price sticker over HIS NAME! I did see the "C" though. :D
-
The biggest problem with a name like Mitzi is that very few people fit the name.
-
CITIZEN KANE
Many people don't know that in the first draft of the screenplay, Welles used "Mitzi" as the first and last word. It was only later that it was changed to "Rosebud."

LES MITZI-RABLES
-
I forgot to mention that the two most repeated lines of dialogue in the history of any medium recur in every episode of Lost and are spoken by whatever actor speaks them in exactly the same expression: "What?" (after some unexpected line of dialog from someone), and "Excuse me?" (after some unexpected line of dialog from someone). I usually speak it with the character. I wonder if the producers insist on the inclusion of these two lines in every script? And to that sort of writing I can only say one word: Mitzi.
-
One of my favorite Sondheim songs: The Story of Mitzi and Mitzi.
Mitzi was ritzy but but oh what a name
Mitzi was ditsy and really the same

Note for Dr Sam:
Yesternight you posted:
My TV was made in 2006 (plasma screen) I thought is should have worked.
Surely that TV has a digital tuner and should receive all the local stations within range.
Are you sure you properly rescanned your TV for the new transmissions? The new channels are on different frequencies and your TV needs to "learn" about them. After the DTV switchover the TV needed to be re-educated by using the setup menu to rescan for all available channels.

A thread over at Twitter concerning the "Secrets of the TKTS booth," [the article I posted here earlier this morning] has rapidly devolved into posts like "they are located directly over the Hellmouth," and "The design of the line is to disorient you so that you think p. diddy would make a good Billy Flynn," and "In the year 2013, the red structure in times square will open and create a bridge to the stars." ;D

BK, forewarned is forearmed--if you have a problem with characters changing their minds at the drop of a hat on LOST, you're in for a rocky road during Season 4 and 5.

DR George - please don't leave us in suspense!!! How did your first night with your new, openable skylight go??
Actually, it went quite well. I went home at about 6:00 pm and it was 97° up there...and that was with the skylight being open all day!! :o But I wasn't staying long. I went to my parents' house for a while. But they time I did go to bed (at 11:30, which is quite early for me), it got down to about 94°. Still very warm. However, I had the ceiling fan in the room below set to blow the air up and on the high speed. That created a very nice breeze that blew over me and kept me fairly cool all night. And since the skylight let out the hot air, there was much more of a breeze than there had been possible with the un-openable skylight. ;D

And does he sing "Moon In My Window" before falling asleep?
Not only that: he moons IN the window!
You wish.

It is a-raining and a-lightning and a-thundering this afternoon in NYC.
And Mitzi likes it!

DR elmore - Good to hear that you're making progress. And that you got more drugs too. ;)

I watched last night's RESCUE ME while I ate lunch. I am SO over Janet and Sheila as characters on the show squabbling over the trifling Tommy. But the fire scenes were compelling, and the bar full of lesbians was something new for the series, too.
-
Then I watched DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION. Ugh! Based on a Japanese manga series, it was very juvenile and not particularly well done in any respect. A couple of neat CGI special effects, but a lot of the wire work looked phony and amateurish.
The Blu-ray transfer was very erratic in quality. Sound was the best thing about it - typical action-heavy surround track, but it was pretty forgettable.
-
Page Six Dance!!!
-
I watched all of the bonus features, not that there were that many. Some deleted scenes, a gag reel, a game, and music video, and a 30-minute interview with the star from the Fox Movie Channel. That was all.
-
I skimmed through all three of today's soap operas that I keep up with. Nothing of interest in any of them, but Luke turned up in the previews for tomorrow's show.

I concluded afternoon viewing with last night's MEDIUM. Of course, I had seen it, but I wanted to watch one episode of MEDIUM on CBS before it switches to Fridays.

Hello, all you wonderful Mitzis out there in the dark. I am back from a long work session, where things are in slightly better shape than I thought they would be - plus I finally got my way and the only really terrible and wrong song in the long musical is now history - and that's a good thing. Surprisingly, everyone at the work session was named Mitzi.

I then came home for but a moment, dropped off some stuff and then went to Jerry's Deli, where I had the Mitzi Special. I am now home and awaiting a call from Mitzi Geissman to see if we're on tonight to do final fixes for Mitzi at the Hollywood Historical Society.

I guess I'll go check out what's happening on So You Think You Can Dance.
I think I have a cold or a sinus problem. It's going around my family.
It sucked that i decided not to hold the baby. So since she wouldn't take her bottle from anyone else i had to listen to her scream and scream (which made my head hurt worse).
-
Plus i had to ride in a car with someone who was wearing very strong aftershave. Who puts on aftershave at 4pm when they know they will driving with someone at 5pm who is allergic to perfume????
I walked by this person at 4:30pm and said i would not be able to ride in a car with them and that smell.
Sometimes i could hold my nose or breathe at the window during a car ride. But since i was feeling under the weather i really didn't think i'd be able to endure the car ride.
STupid me for thinking i would arrive at the car and that person would have washed off the smell.
:)
I get in the car, my eyes start to burn, so i get out.
The person then went and washed off the smell as best as they could. So i sucked it up and endured the ride. I guess at least they tried to get most of the smell off. Oy.

It was really really humid here today too.

Next I watched three MURDER SHE WROTE episodes in a row so I could complete disc 2 in the set.
The shows were fine, but this is where I began nodding off. One of the episodes taking place in COunty Cork, Ireland, I zoned out about 20 minutes in and woke up in time for Jessica to unmask the murderer.
-
Another had Richard Beymer running a gambling house in the back of his restaurant. Wings Hauser was a compulsive gambler who was an accountant to Jessica, Seth, and other town bigshots and was using their money to gamble with (and losing). Carrie Snodgress was also part of the guest cast.
-
The third one found Jessica at the race track with trainer Mickey Rooney working with a horse belonging to Don Murray and Tippi Hedren.
All three were easy mysteries to solve, even when I nodded off during part of them.
-
With that second disc in the set finished, I began watching the Joan Crawford magnum opus BERSERK! I got a little more than halfway through before I turned off everything and headed upstairs for my nightly internet surf. (I also had my work project to upload.)
-
I gotta tell you.
-
And might I just add: Mitzi.
-
I'm going out for a ride in the motor car, after which, I shall return and finish the last episode on disc five.

I'm heading downstairs to bed. I hope the little bit of dozing I did tonight will not impact my ability to fall asleep tonight.

My friend, Leigh, and I had a wonderful dinner - and catch-up session - at Casellula Cheese & Wine Cafe (http://www.casellula.com). Since Casellula features quite a nice selection of cheeses, we let their fromageur, Tia, make a few selections to start off us, and she also selected a nice quartet of cheeses that ended up serving as an intermezzo between our entreés and desserts. I took pictures of the cheeses, but didn't get a chance to any notes. However, they were all quite wonderful. -And the little bits of food that were paired with each cheese were also quite nice too. The lavender panna cotta was particularly outstanding.
As for the entrées, I had the "Pig's Ass" sandwich, and Leigh had the Rabbit Pie. And the desserts... WOW! We had just planned to split a piece of their Chocolate Cake, but then Tia brought over their "Ice Cream Soda" which was made with melon balls, small scoops of vanilla ice cream, and elderflower(!) soda. It was like Summer in a glass! But back to the Chocolate Cake...
On the menu, the cake was paired with "Meadowbrook Farm Cream". Well, when the cake was brought to the table, the waitress also brought along a small bottle of cream, heavy cream. After she set the plate of cake of the table, she then poured the cream over the slice of cake... As I said before... WOW!!
:)
-
All in all, it was a quite a wonderful evening. After dinner, Leigh and I headed down to Manhattan Plaza to pay a visit to a stage manager friend of hers. And we proceeded to drink a few more glasses of wine, as well as snack on a few items from Amy's Bread.
Oh, and his apartment is on the 43rd floor, and on the east side of the building. The views of the Empire State Building, and most of southern Manhattan were quite breathtaking. And since the rain had stopped, we were able to enjoy the evening out on his balcony.

That's how the ancient Egyptians used to remove the brains....by running a hook up through the nostril, twirling it around to scramble the matter and then pulling it all out through the nostril.
I don't know about "Six Feet Under" doing it, however.

Do they perform an autopsy on everyone who dies? Or are some bodies just prepared for burial (embalmed) after they die? -Without further examination to determine the cause of death.

Thanks DR Matt. I'm not really sure what's wrong. I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach, have a bit of a headache and am really tired. I made dinner earlier and that helped for a while, but I'm feeling crummy again so I'm going to go to bed. I really hope it's just a passing thing. I have lots of plans this weekend.

Just keep it nice and simple:
-Sauté an onion (chopped) and some garlic in some olive oil. -Keep the garlic in slices, unless you want a lot of garlic flavor in your sauce, then mince it.
-Slice and/or crush the tomatoes, and add them to the pan. -If you have a vegetable mill/ricer, that will help de-seed the tomatoes. Personally, I don't mind seeds in my fresh tomato sauce, but I know they can sometimes contribute a hint of bitterness to the finished sauce.
-Simmer for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour - or longer. -Just depends how juicy the tomatoes are. Just cook down the sauce until it gets down to your desired thickness.
*If you cook everything first, then run the sauce through a food mill/ricer/strainer, then that will not only take care of the seeds, but also the skins.
-
Well, it's been sort of a long day for me, and I really do want to try to get an early start tomorrow/later today. So...
Goodnight.

Generally, if a person dies while under the care of a Physician, and he/she signs the death certificate for "death by natural causes", no autopsy is required. In all other cases, the coroner requires an autopsy to certify a cause of death. In cases of hospital patients who die of presumed natural causes, the Doctors may ask permission of next of kin for an autopsy for research purposes.

I only have one interesting post.
As I was taking my walk to check on the other car around the block. I hear young girls screaming and in turning the corner I see a boy holding what looked like a tire iron above 2 girls kneeling and screaming. So I yelled, what are you doing, which scared them and made another 6 kids come running over.
Seems the neighborhood game is some version of Freddie or Pinhead or something, anyway after a few choice insults thrown my way I insisted to talk to a parent.
6 blocks later, at a parents house, 2 adult women come out to talk to me. I told them what I saw. They tried to explain it's only a game. I told them that it's l0PM at night, and if that's the kind of game they let their kids play, do it on their own block. Not 6 blocks away where no one knows what the h-ll is going on.
P.S. I think a couple of those kids need a whooping.
Just my opinion.
